- Passport size photograph
After the documents are verified, applicants will receive further information about the date of counselling, place and related instructions.

Campus & Course Selection: In this step, the candidates are asked to fill the choices for their preferred NIFT program and campus. the process starts with ranks 1-100, students can 'freeze' their choice of program and campus or decline the offer. If they decline, they won't be considered for further rounds of NIFT admissions.
But once they accept 'freeze', they will be out of the seat allocation process and the process continues with the rest of the candidates.
